HELLO BREEDERS, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE BIRDS OUT TODAY FOR THE STUTZ 50 FOR 1000.00 CONGRATS TO RAY GARDE FOR BEING FIRST BIRD IN THE TRAP. CONGRATS TO WES LAMONS FOR BEING THE 58TH IN THE TRAP WINNING 200.00. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH JUST A SLITE BREEZE OUT OF THE NORTH. WE ARRIVED AT THE LOFT AND THE FIRST DROP WAS ON US. WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH IT ON FACEBOOK LIVE.
Heavy fog at the Stutz 58 we waited until 9am then drove south to the 48 mile training spot. We will shoot for the STUTZ 50 for 1000 tomorrow at the 58 m station.

It may be like yesterda. I'm showing 471 in clock and one still outside.
Hello Breeders, I am aware that today's Loft trainer is not being posted on Wincompanion. I'm showing everything OK on my end. I was informed that Top Pigeon did a maintenance last night but it seems like all the other races are doing fine however we are having Data upload issues. Sorry for any inconvenienc.
HELLO BREEDERS, TODAY WAS OUR 9TH TRAINING TOSS AND 2ND FROM 15 MILES. WATCHING THE RELEASE VIDEO AND SECURING THE TRAILER THE BIRDS LEFT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I CAME HOME AND IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT AS ON THE LAST 15 MILE TRAINING TOSS THE BIRDS HAD BEAT US HOME BY SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN THE BIRDS STARTED ARRIVING TO THE LOFT THEY WERE IN SMALLER GROUPS AND COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS AND DIFFERENT ALTITUDES, AT ONE POINT WE HAD A COUPLE DROPS OF OVER 40-60 BIRDS. THE BIRDS DID NOT APPEAR TIRED OR AS IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IN THE PREVIOUS 5 YRS WE HAVE STUCK TO THE TRAINING REGIMEN AND WHILE WALKING THROUGH THE LOFT I HAVE FOUND NO INJURED BIRDS.
I SEARCHED FOR ANY RECENT EARTHQUAKES AND FOUND THERE WAS A 2.8 MAGNITUDE APPROXIMATELY 18 HRS PRIOR TO RELEASE IN MINCO, OK WHICH IS JUST OVER 100 MILES FROM US. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY FACTOR THAT PLAYS PART IN STILL BEING OUT SEVERAL BIRDS. THEY ARE STILL TRICKLING IN.
